RELIEVE COL RT CONGESTION •The New York Times expresses the opinion that court congestions could be relieved if the judges and court officials would put in a few longer hours and reduce their vacations to a reasonable length of time. There is no more reason why judges, and court clerks and lawyers should have three months’ vacation than there is for applying such a custom to doctors, architects, and. for that matter, to everybody in the community. Only within the last year < nearly all the Judges have made a raid upon the public Treasury for an increase in their salaries < by $5,000 each or even more in < some cases, so that many 6 f these ; Judges now draw a royal stipend I of $22,500. It would hurt no one if they would do some extra 1 work for this extra compensation. ■ o i Notice of Ditch Letting Notice Is hereby given that th. Trustee of Turkey Creek Townsh.p. Kosciusko County.

THE TWENTIErir CENTURY Medical science has shown more progress during the present century than in all previous time. It is hard for us to believe that in 1900: The XHRay was just coming into use. Mosquitoes were not known as carriers of Yellow-Fever. We did not know that Typhus <-ame from the louse and Bubonic Plague from the flea. We had no weapons against Malaria except Quinine and there was no way to control any of these plagues except by keeping those suffering from them away from contact with others. We did not know that Typhoidfever and Cholera came from germs in water and milk. We had no Insulin for Diabetes, no Vaccine for Typhoid, no Emetine for Dysentery, no Adrenalin for Hemorrhage, no Salyarsan and Neosalvarsan for Syphilis, no Radium for Cancer. Anti-toxin for Diptheria had been used a little but not much. Since 1900 the death rate from Diptheria has been reduced more than 50 per cent. Net so long ago Consumption or Tuberculosis of the lungs was considered fatal. Today 70 to 90 per cent of the early stage cases recover when properly treated. 60 to 70 per cent of the first stage cases recover. 30 to 60 per cent of the second stages cases and 15 to 30 per cent of the advanced cases. Since 1900 the brief space of a quarter of a century the average life of man has been lengthened by six years. In 1900 the average span of life was 49. Today it is 55. All these diacoveries» which have tended to lengthen human life are the result of exhaustive experiments and nains-tabing labor. Chemists and physicians have time and again, risked their lives in the cause of science for humanity. Many have died to lighten the burden of sickness and disease for humanity as a whole. _o — Great Britain has maintained a mighty grip on India for a hundred and fifty years. While her chief activity seems to have been levying and collection of taxes, India has received but little benefit in the way of schools, transportation, living conditions or industry. It is because of illustrations of this character that Christianity of the West is looked upon by the East with something more than suspicion. n j/ Mock air raids have demon- 7 strated that London or any other large city could be reduced to ruins in a few hours. Great Britain may rule the seas but she has no monopoly on the air —not yet.

that these ideals are slowly making headway, and some day, even at the cost of another greater war. will be realized. These ten years have seen marvelous changes in the United States, because we have not became actively embroiled in the jealousies and hatreds of Europe we have prospered, and in our prosperity have graciously cancelled more than 5,000 millions of debt for money loaned to European nations and re-invest-ed twice that much in new capital for them. Looking backward and then over the present day one wonders if we have really been helpful—or do we furnish the powder and fuel for the conflagrations? o New York City may be a desolate place of residence, but the community takes good care of the children. The Board of Education has provided 100 playgrounds and is about to open 50 more. On Saturdays the children have 207 playgrounds besides the numerous parks and water fronts.
